WASHINGTON, D.C. – This week, Congresswoman Young Kim (CA-40) participated in a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing titled “United Nations Accountability and Reform: Advancing an America First Foreign Policy Through Strategic Diplomacy and Burden Sharing at the United Nations.”
Ambassador Mike Waltz, U.S. Representative to the United Nations, and Ambassador Jeff Bartos, U.S. Representative for United Nations Management and Reform, testified on efforts to reduce waste at the U.N. and ensure American taxpayer contributions deliver results.
During the hearing, Rep. Kim applauded U.S. leadership in delivering more than one billion dollars in savings at the United Nations and raised concerns about the Chinese Communist Party’s growing influence at the United Nations while seeking an update on efforts to expand Taiwan’s meaningful participation in international organizations. She warned that when the United States and its allies cede leadership in global standard-setting bodies, adversaries like China fill the vacuum and shape the rules to their advantage.
